>>The treasure was composed entirely of only 32 varieties of types coined between the years 46 and 38 BC, so it is quite safe to assume that it was buried in 38 or 37 BC.

He was worried about the looming Year Zero breaking everyone’s abacus.

I once found a 1940 penny while digging in the strawberry patch in my back yard. But never 80,000 gold coins.

Any word on how the “peasant” who discovered the hoard fared in this fortuitous discovery? Did he get to keep some of the treasure? Or did he get an extra Turnip and told “get back to work”?

If you get a chance, watch “Detectorists” on Acorn TV, about British treasure hunters.

Were the coins dated “38 BC”?
